In terms of performance, expect the 2016 Audi TT RS to run the 0-62 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) sprint in around four seconds and top out at an electronically-capped 155 mph (250 kph) top speed. The limiter may be increased to 174 mph (280 km/h) if there is an optional performance package. A TT RS Performance, which replaces the TT RS Plus, is also expected to be unveiled next year.
